Mark~ I find it hard to believe you and my dad have been gone for 5 years So close in life and taken home so close in time. I still have an adorable picture of you with Ezra on your lap. I know you are smiling down, a proud angel dad and papa! You are and always will be loved

With a heavy heart I send my love to Joshua, Brianna and Ezra. I am just hearing the news now that he passed away just 21/2 months after my dad, Roger Taylor. I had never seen Mark so happy as when he would tell stories about Ezra. He was such a proud dad and Papa. Always there for me and my family. We love you, Mark.

Mark my friend and my buddy, It's been an honor to know and love you. I remember holding you in my arms when you were just a little boy.

Dear sweet mark, my heart is sadden. To hear from my son your finance passed away, I felt I part of me had died. The fondest memory I have is when we would laugh so hard I wish the laufter to would be forever.when you would speak of your most beautiful grandchild your humble eyes would light up like the brightest star in the sky. You were a gentle soul. You held your head high through both good and bad times. When I finally brought myself to listen to ed sheer an thinking out the memories...

I only knew Mark through DermaPen, he was the original starter. He left the company, appears to be a good thing. I had several really nice conversations with this genuine man, may God bless his heart and soul!

I had opportunity to work with Mark. His voice, his laugh, his work ethic, and his smile remain in forever in memory from this earthly place. Rest in peace and see you on the other side my friend. Love and blessings of comfort and strength to your family. With love, James Wilson

As your Handyman at So many of your different Businesses. Some not Mentioned here. You Were Very Kind To my Mother, When You Found Out She Was Diagnosed with...

Mark was my first love back in Claremont College days. We had a wonderful time together in Switzerland (he looked like he does in that picture as it was fall of 1972) and then connected in California. He was the caretaker of anyone in need back in those days. I met up again with Mark for a short time in the 90s and got to meet you when you were about 2 Josh. Congratulations on a wonderful family of your own now. I always hoped Mark was happy and healthy and am so sorry to hear of his passing.
